So, Im psyched that I get it all back together without a hitch, just a little over a day to install the engine and tranny once it was ready....

I drove the car up and down the street easy a few times, no problem, then I took it above 40 and I noticed smoke coming from the engine bay, and it looks like tranny fluid was getting flung off the torque converter or something becuase it was all around the tranny in a circle near the engine block.

It was coming out at a good rate, dripping on the ground........F%$K ME!!!

I dont want to take this thing apart again!

I am tring to figure out where its coming from, cant pinpoint it, best guess I can get is the oil seal around the center shaft where the torque converter connects with the tranny. Its an auto tranny, CLK, bought it from a junkard, still has one month left to warranty.....

Any suggestions, preferably good ones, would be immensly appreciated
